as a sidenote (and a general query), cake stresses on convention over

   Ps if your model class is named Con *only* because the db table is
   named cons - then just useTable your way out of that paper bag.

   Pps - filenames should be lower case.

But why do you want to give a model a name that doesn't mean anything?

I'd suggest you've got 2 choices if you want a class/file named Con:

1) don't use windows
2) just include (whatever name you like, contains class Con.php)
yourself.

See the docs on app import for loading unconventional classes.

thanks euromark! the table's already called Con and hence want to keep

How many places in the application already use the Con class name?
Is there any way to change the table name? If not you can use
contact for everything else(using $useTable = 'Con') and just
document the irregularity.

Yes, that should work. Then, switch to Linux. :-) That's just utterly

wonder which bandaid solution that stems from. Just weird as all
